A flowrate unit Nm3/h was quoted from a Air presurization unit manual.
I know that Normal cubic meter per hour., Nm3/h is Flow of free air measured at some reference point and converted to a standard set of reference conditions (e.g., 14.4 psia, 20° C, and 60% relative humidity.) Normal means m3/h at specified conditions. However,in the United states, the usual (normal/standard) is 14.696 psiA and 60/70°F. Some chemical engineers will use one atm and 0°C, but usually will be specific about the reference point. Europeans normally use one atm and 0°C. It is not the same to all people, so I know it is best that the reference pressure and temperature be definitely specified.
But does someone know that there are any guideline from FAA/JAA/CAA for this issue?
